Background on Strawberry Production in High Tunnels Strawberry plants under high tunnels were not only better established, but also produced higher yields and quality than open field plants (Kadir et al., 2006). Early yields increased inside high tunnels when compared with those from open fields. Strawberry total marketable yields maximized inside high tunnels in comparison with open fields (Salam-Donoso et al., 2010). Producing strawberries in the fall and following spring using high tunnels resulted in higher yields than those grown in the open field (Fernandez and Ballington, 2003). Tomatoes grown in high tunnels contained significantly higher levels of lycopene, sugars and red color (Wszelaki and Rogers, 2009).

Background Six varieties – Season one varieties differ from season two – Marketability of fruits – Reasons for unmarketability Quality measurements – Soluble Solids – Titratable Acidity – Color – Firmness – Environmental problems causing limited progress

Season 1- Strawberry Varieties Spring- Day Neutral – Albion – Seascape – San Andreas Fall- June Bearing – Strawberry Festival – Sweet Charlie – Chandler 28 plants per variety Planted staggered in a double row 1’ apart High tunnels planted March 23, 2010 Open field planted April 22, 2010

TN Weather Conditions Spring and Fall – Extreme temperature fluctuations – Heavy rains – Strong winds – Late frost date Summer – Hot and dry Winter – Cold and wet

Season 1 Issues Spring planting Too hot, too fast Poor pollination Limited production Small plants

Season 2 Open Field- before and after

Season 3 Adjustments Early to mid-September planting Heavier row cover – Ag-50 and Ag-30 Replenish bumble bee hives after 4 weeks and utilize in open field Examine quality differences – Late fall/early winter and spring/summer – Color, firmness, sugars, acidity, post-harvest
